WELLINGTON.
This day. Those two Italians who were concerned in that notorious catting and wounding case were sentenced this morning. Bitossi got eight months, and Peroti four months, and on their liberation, each are to find sureties in £20, each to keep the peace for six months. I The Court is adjourned until Monday next. • : The New Zealander foreshadows the opening address to Parliament as follows:—The abolishing of plurality of rotes, the duration of Parliament shortened, in order that it may not become the renal instrument of a few ; that payment of members be placed on a more sound basis than at present. These are the main points of constitutional reform. The New Zealander also thinks the question of confiscated lands in the Taranaki district will occupy a great deal of attention this session. A man named Walmsley, a half-cast East Indian, was brought before theE.jM. this morning on four seperate charges for robbery, and breaking into premises. He was sentenced to thirteen weeks imprisonment on the three first charges, 'and was committed for trial on the last.
